Road Lodge Cape Town International Airport
The location is great for the airport (~3 mins by taxi). Rooms are compact, but clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. There’s no lift, so you might struggle with luggage. The breakfast menu does not cater to anyone with dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten, etc)
